Indian wicketkeeper-batter Taniyaa Bhatia was the unfortunate victim of a robbery at the Marriot Hotel London Maida Val, which was the team hotel for India during their final ODI against England. Taniyaa then took to social media to share her grievances, while calling out the cricket board of England as well.
“Shocked and disappointed at Marriot Hotel London Maida Vale management; someone walked into my personal room and stole my bag with cash, cards, watches and jewellery during my recent stay as a part of the Indian Women’s Cricket team. So unsafe,” Bhatia wrote on Twitter.
"Hoping for a quick investigation and resolution of this matter. Such lack of security at @ECB_cricket’s preferred hotel partner is astounding. Hope they will take cognisance as well,” she added.
The ECB has not released any statement as of now.
India played three T20Is and as many ODIs in England from September 10 to 24. Bhatia was part of India’s limited-overs squad in England. The Women in Blue beat England in the final ODI at Lord’s on Saturday to win the ODI series 3-0.
